    I agree, forget China and let's use it domestically! Add value to our province and our producers.

      I'm sure with her wealth of knowledge and experience megz will have the answers. She will snap chat the important people.

        Net efficiency of ethanol production is not that good, that's the main drawback. Here is one quote on the efficiency of ethanol from corn. "If we sum the energy needed for production of corn and ethanol conversion and distribution processes we end up with a total expenditure of 68,206BTUs/gal. A gallon of ethanol contains 76,300BTUs/gal"
        It's an evolving process and more efficient production is possible - the biggest problem currently seems to be the amount of energy used to produce the fertilizer.

          Well at least it's a start to increase our production of wheat, corn etc. Why not? It's what the green guys want! And the biofuel industry would strengthen the competition for our product. What do you care about btu bullshit if theres a good market for your end product, that's not only income for your family, but your community as well!

            China does the fcuking, not Canada. That market is gone and not coming back anywhere its original size and there is no replacement. Sure you can swing a bit at $10, but how about $8? There is rented land around me at $120. That's a lot tighter margin and more risk. I watched my BTO neighbor flame out in lentils 10 yrs ago. Maybe I will get to see a canola show too.

            And you guys don't know environmentalists very well. You think they are going to get on board growing a GMO crop and then burning it engines? Think again.

                SF3 is so full of shit.

                Only way he got 11.23 is if was Nexera and comparing it to regular.

                  Sept/Oct 2018 delivery DDC was 11.25 for a few days in the Mar 1 - May 29, 2018 time frame.

                  Nov/Dec 2018 delivery for 11.25 or higher was common from early March till late Jun 2018
                  topping out at 11.63 in late May.

                  These were offerings from the crush plant. Local values will differ.

                      Nexera was never that low.

                      I’m sure Yorkton crushers had offers for 11.23 early in growing season for commodity canola.
